VERY FIRST political issue after the 18th amendment was passed was the social justice cause known as Prohibition.
The 18th was Prohibition. Women's Suffrage was the 19th.
The pity is the 21st only corrected one of them.
- Krypto was always kind of dumb, but will move merch
- I don't think this guy looks like Superman
- Kent's hair is fucking awful
- I don't think it needs all the cameos; sick of "Cinematic Universes."
But from the trailer at least, Gunn is smart enough to go with the hopeful spirit and not some grimdark deconstruction bullshit.
And Jimmy Olsen is actually a white actor with freckles. It's small, but it counts for something.
dead man's switch
If you're whistleblowing properly, there's nothing left to expose. You take everything. You drop it all in many places without announcing it. Then you come forward.
They can still kill you as a warning to others, but it won't protect them what's already out there.
Good. Leaving in a scene of someone internally understanding that they're not really the other gender could have caused billions of trans kids to kill themselves. By removing this character, Pixar is saving lives. /s
In 2020, the first 50-state survey on Holocaust knowledge among millennials and Gen Z found that most young Americans lack basic knowledge of the Holocaust. For example, 63% of survey respondents did not know that 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, nearly 60% did not know what the concentration camp Auschwitz was, and 11% believed that Jews caused the Holocaust.
The kids are going to be okay.
Such Holocaust education should include, for example, instruction on the roles of Nazi racial antisemitism, longstanding European antisemitism, conspiracy theories, and the propaganda during the Holocaust, not just the facts of what happened during the 1930s and 1940s that resulted in the systematic murder of European Jews
"Don't focus on facts. Blame European history as a whole."

>"Rand Paul’s wife bought stock in COVID treatment firm in February 2020"
I too remember COVID-20. Seriously, the worst you can say about this is she bought stock in an anti-viral manufacturer after a new-ish virus had been publicly reported in a dozen countries.
Created by the Obama administration
I have no doubt that Obama made the agency worse and weaponized it further, but it was Lyndon B. Johnson who signed off on that shit. Specifically it was Title X of the CRA:
TITLE X--ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE SEC. 1001. (a) There is hereby established in and as a part of the Department of Commerce a Community Relations Service (hereinafter referred to as the "Service"), which shall be headed by a Director who shall be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate for a term of four years. The Director is authorized to appoint, subject to the civil service laws and regulations, such other personnel as may be necessary to enable the Service to carry out its functions and duties, and to fix their compensation in accordance with the Classification Act of 1949, as amended. The Director is further authorized to procure services as authorized by section 15 of the Act of August 2, 1946 (60 Stat. 810; 5 U.S.C. 55(a)), but at rates for individuals not in excess of $75 per diem.
Lead: 82 protons, 82 electrons, 125 neutrons
Gold: 79 protons, 79 electrons,. 118 neutrons
There is "more" to an atom of lead than there is gold. So to transmute it you would be removing particles rather than adding them.
Obviously the philosopher's stone is antimatter /s
If I'm a Joe Rogan listener who's not plugged into political stuff and I see Trump do a 3 hour interview for the podcast and see Kamala make excuses not to do the same, that's gonna leave me with a favorable impression towards Trump and make me more likely to vote for him.
This works even if you don't listen to Rogan. Trump was willing to go where Americans are to talk to them. Kamala was not. Even if you don't listen to the interview, that's a shift in favorability towards him. Same as the McDonald's stunt. Even if you know it's a staged photo op, the fact that his side knows what kind of staged photo op is relatable was beyond anything Kamala's camp was capable of.
how the left needs its "own Joe Rogan"
Yes. But not for the reasons they think. Such a figure on their side would mean they had made huge strides in changing their culture because having someone who will chat with people they aren't in lock-step with is antithetical to the left. Having their "own Joe Rogan" would mean the echo chamber had gone away already, so yeah, they would be in a better position culturally. But when they say "own Joe Rogan," they just think they need a different flavor of propaganda. That's why it will never work for them.
The men on both sides are being fed into a meat grinder for the benefit of a handful of corrupt elites who I'm sure will also be there to profit off from the "rebuilding" and newly empty homes.
It's an absolute waste of life.
Exactly. It's people who can't deal with a shifting, human, social reality and need everything to be handled in an academic or litigious manner. They can't hear something they don't like and go, "man, that guy is a dick," and move on. There has to be a rule or regulation they can use to eliminate the thing they don't like to curate their experience just like the way the algorithm does for their social media feed. The slightest anxiety means the system is failing.
Not everything needs to be codified. "Soft" pressures like did a fantastic job of self-regulating things. Moving away from that to an explicit, game-rules approach to society has been a disaster.
"Won't someone please think of the children!" has been used as entryism forever. It's what every attempt to censor the Internet or remove anonymity leads with. If's what the pearl-clutches have always lead with.
Problem is now, after they've cried wolf so many times, sickos are actually going after the children and no one wants to admit it's real.
I remember there being an official Bloodrayne thing with Playboy. Actual art, not a model cosplaying.
Playboy attempted an unofficial use with a model dressed as Lara, but the rights holders were very against it at the time. https://ghostarchive.org/archive/0SUIL
The court yesterday stopped the magazine using the name Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider logo on the front cover of its August issue alongside nude pictures of model Nell McAndrew, claimed by Playboy to be the real-life incarnation of the character.
Mr Justice Lloyd rode in to save the virtue of the heroine by granting the company behind her an injunction ordering Playboy to apply stickers blanking out her name and the Tomb Raider logo from the cover of 20,000 copies.
The judge had been told by George Hamer, counsel for Tomb Raider trade mark owners Core Design Ltd, that Lara's "squeaky-clean image" would be "tarnished for all time" by any association with soft-core pornography.
It was maybe a bit of a stretch, but I was responding to the comment they made. I said that the natural state of things is a lack of healthcare, which they thought was a retarded take.
Being miserable because of a lack of intervention and being in a situation where there is a lack of intervention are at least in the same spirit of discussion. In either case your misery is the result of inaction, which supports my point of indifference vs profiting from suffering.
The price of health care and getting what you paid for are important, but never once did anyone say that it was okay to rip people off or that healthcare was cheap. So I'm really not sure what that was even aimed at.
A decent actress who shouldn't be within 50 miles of an Odyssey adaptation.
